Skafe Calls It Quits

[nisskid]

i was in the nissan tent at mallala the first time the gtr raced there was awsome to see the car in the flesh . if i remember correctly the car failed to finish that day tho due to brake probs i think .

but i remember all the v8 guys saying wtf how is this thing so fast lol was the start of a era

cheers midlife crisis

yeh it was a hub problem, he was destroying up until then. even though it was rediculously fast, it was having a few issues for the first season and was forced to retire a few times, was a pretty big ask to bring a brand new car, nothing like they have ever seen, then make it a competitive car in an established series in a foreign country.

ah thats right hub probs i have a photo of me sitting in that car after the meeting somewhere would have too dig deep to find it lol

Skaife is a champion of Australian motorsport, yes.

Skaife is an arrogant prick, yes.

But you have to give credit where credit is due, how ever many years in the top series, beating Brocks winning races total etc etc.

I think, yeah he's a wanker but he has completly changed the motorsport in a good way.

I say, good on him.

And I say bring back the punch ups between drivers. Its motor racing, its competitive, they're fired up and raring to go!

Thats the problem with alot of sports ... they've gone soft. I don't condone voilence, but there's always a level of compeitiveness that will naturally call for it ... its in our blood all the way from the caveman era!

the longhurst /morris incident for the young kiddies not old enough to remember

I remember this. Funny to think how longhurst has always had a volatile temper.... funnier still was that he caused that particular accident by hitting the aft section of the front wheel on morris' car... once that happened it was all over

still piss funny tho

[OzCarImports]

Love the pics of the Skyline GTR they are great.

Yeah Skaife he's one of those guys that you love to hate, when he goes we will find someone to replace him.

But he has had a great career. I guess there are would be people in Australian Motorsport that would give anything to do whe has done.

What odds he ends up doing commentary?

Then we'll all have the pleasure of listening to his opinion on just about everything including motorsport for the next 20yrs or so.

[rhys5169]

^i think that has already been confirmed, so get ready in a year or 2 to have to listen to his idiotic opinions

- amazing photo's, that car was porn

Agreed.

Real fighters wouldnt lower their aims to get into UFC

UFC is for steriod-jacked brutes.
